Re: Close Encounter with Mars

I just looked at it Last night with my 4.5" reflector. Man, that thing is bright! Can't wait to look at it next week (I'm on vacation, and can stay up really late looking at it).

Re: OT: Sad day

I've lost two cats in my life, one when I was in high school, and one three years ago. Had both cats for a long time. It's like a death in the family. You really miss them.

Returning to the game for first time in months

And I'm amazed at how quickly I picked it right back up again. It really helps me to appreciate how slick this interface is. Now I'm going back to my game as the Narn...

Re: OT: Superbowl

Glad I didn't bet on this one. Tampa's killing them, and it's only halftime.

Re: New Racial Tech Traits Ideas

How about something along the lines of the Gaians in SMAC, who capture mind worms and turn them into infantry units? You could allow an organic race to capture native organisms and use them for...

Re: Finite resources or not?

Having completed (just) four games, I think finite resources would hurt the AI more than myself, because I know how to take advantage of the asteroid fields and the AI doesn't.

Re: MOO3 finished!

I agree with Couslee. I have SMAC, and it was my favorite TBS game until SE4 came along.

You may think the unit design in SMAC is flawed, but it's still fun. And Civ 3 doesn't even have unit...

Re: MOO3 finished!

Stability: I consider a game to be very stable if it crashes once for every ten hours I put into it. And I have a lot of games that meet this standard (including SE4 ...

Re: OT: Superbowl

The Raiders will win, because their passing game and their talented receivers will beat Tampa Bay's two deep zone. The Bucs will have to counter by coming at the Raiders with more blitzes to...

Re: Launching Fighters

I always wished there was a way to launch mines from multiple planets at once, too. A global launch command would be much appreciated!

Re: SE5 Is it going to happen?

If no development has been done yet, I would say no sooner than 2005.

Re: The Ultimate ship design

I did that before once. I couldn't understand why my cool new state-of-the-art battle cruiser just sat there. Thought it was a game bug! I say just leave your ships parked where they are, and use...

Re: intelligence projects chances of success

I find all this CI stuff very confusing. My hope for SEV would be to do away with intelligence and CI projects altogether, and just give you a 'to chance' for intelligence missions and CI, based on...

Re: New Ship Images (What do you think?)

I like the catamaran shape and the clean lines. I like ships with clean lines. Definitely looks like an escort, but I could see a large transport ship done in this style

Re: Favorite Weapons Poll

I like the graviton hellbore and the massive shield depleter. I like to equip a dreadnaught with both of those. I also like to use torpedos for the ranged attack. By themselves they're weak, but...

Re: Idea for SEV

How about have a population support only a limited number of troops. If you want more, you have to start a draft. This could result in consequences such as protests and rioting by the population. ...

Number of points at beginning

Re: OT: How old are you ?
